Telemetry: Vehicle Hours

The Vehicle Hours report shows how long a vehicle has been running including both driving time and idle time.

Specific details about the usage for each time period are shown below the graph which includes totals for:

Engine On Time: the time that engine RPM > 0
Idle Time: the time that the engine RPM is greater than 0 and the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph for more than 2 minutes (to exclude normal idling at traffic lights, etc.)

Each property is also presented for each time period in the report. The report can show data for multiple gateways and will present each on a separate row of the report.

The default time period is dependent on the span of the report and is configurable using the Split table results by field, accessible from the report’s advanced configuration screen.

Basic Configuration Fields

• Gateway(s)^*: by default this is set to the gateway(s) selected in the gateway tree. Enter the name(s) manually to modify this field. Click on Filter to open the subfilter options.
• Report time range^*: use the drop-down menu to select from Previous Months, Previous Weeks, Previous Days or Range. Enter the numeric value in the field. When Range is selected, use the calendar pop-up to select the dates. Alternatively, enter the date and time manually (yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm).
• Limit to map area^*: select Not Limited to include data from any geographic location. Select Manually defined area to create a temporary zone for the analysis – only data from inside this zone will be included in the report. Select One or more zones to limit the analysis to one or more predefined zones (see the AMM Operation and Configuration guide for more information about zones).
• Exclusion Zones: allows the report to exclude data from one or more predefined zones (see the AMM Operation and Configuration guide for more information about zones). Leave this option checked (default setting) to include data from any geographic location. Uncheck this option to specify zones to exclude data from.
• Allowed Idle Time: the time period (in seconds) within which idling is not counted as part of the idling time. The default is 120 seconds.
• GPIO devices (not applicable to ALEOS devices): specifies which GPIO pins to monitor for signals while idling. Any idle time which occurs while any of the pins have a signal will not be counted as idle time in the report. Instead, an additional GPIO Time column will be displayed showing the time spent idling while GPIO is in use. The default is an empty field which means that no GPIO pins (i.e. no devices) will be monitored while idling. There are eight possible pins numbered 0 through 7. To specify the GPIO pins, enter a comma delimited list. For example, to monitor idling while pins 0, 1 and 7 are active, enter 0,1,7 in this field.
• Output Format: select HTML to generate the report in the browser window. Select Excel to display the generated report in Microsoft Excel. Note that the Excel option only works for reports which produce data in a table format.
• Save for later or schedule a run time: Enable to create reports that can be saved for future use. See Saving and Scheduling a Report for a Later Run Time for more information.

Advanced Configuration Fields

• Split table results by: use the drop-down menu to split the report results by None, Auto, Second, Minute, 5 Minutes, 30 Minutes, Hour, 8 Hours, Day, Week or 30 Days. The selection should best reflect the time range (i.e. if the range is one month, splitting the result by minutes or hours may not result in a satisfactory report). The default is Auto.
